Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

Sigh! I do wish I could understand, or somehow empathise with, those circular kites! There's something very beautiful and appealing about them, as a concept, especially when they appear in a video that's pumping up some special kite event.I've never seen one 'in the flesh', so to speak. So the video was especially interesting to me, as a newbie.BUT -OK, once they're 'up', what then? If they remain 'up', that is. The video seems to suggest they sometimes like to run along the ground-level part of the window. So what do you do with them then?Is the challenge just in the matter of getting them up? Or does the flyer get most of his pleasure from just seeing the darn thing acually getting up there and flying?

Do they just rotate in one direction, and twist your (single) line up tight until you can't do anything with it any more?

Please be understanding. I'm a newbie, and I'm asking newbie questions! I want to understand!!! Ring-shaped kites are very unusual (to me!). And they're exciting. They do look pretty!But what fun does the flyer get from flying one?

They can be flown on their own when they do they stay on the ground. If you use a lifter kite then they stay off the ground. There is a swivel where all the bridle lines meet so that helps prevent excessive twisting. The direction they spin depends on how you make them but once made will only spin in one direction. As far as what I get out of it I just enjoy watching it spin I think it looks pretty neat.
